  • quick dash fix

    i have tried to find a good dash for my 93 cutlass ,but haven't been able to find one in good condition for sale.this type of dash seem to warp and crack badly where the defrost air comes out.mine got like that cause i left it one full summer
    out in the texas sun .
    this the fist fix a while back,i staple it down then i use black industrial glue to hold it (it work great cause still there holding it).

    well that wasn't to bad until the dash cracked.

    and still can't find a good dash ,so i fix it again ,i use carpet i that i use for subwoofer boxes .and i use some stuff in the egdes made for carpets to give it a custom look.double sideding the edges and sewing would work also ,just like i did where the defrost air comes out.

    if you notice is a little wrinkle ,but i am going to let it set ,then i might use double sided tape to keep it in place and glue where the defrost air come out to make it all flush and even .
    i am sure some of you guys done something better ,but maybe someone could use this ,and is very cheap i don't thing i use $5.00 (but helps to have stuff in hand).
    i just love to watch the wheels turn around and around

    looks pretty red-neck-ish
    just kiding, you should use some spray adhesive to hold it down
    spray both surafaces let the stuff dry then start with one edge make sure its strait then start pressing it onto the dash, should turn out good with no wrinkles, just my 2 cents

        oh i forgot, use masking tape and thick paper to mask the areas of the dash you dont want sprayed with the adhesive
        i did a headliner once and it didnt look so hot lol gobs of adhesive speckled about
